"I believe that each student is unique; no two students learn in exactly the same way. When the goal is common, deep understanding of the same material by all students in a classroom, it is imperative that the individual needs and abilities of each student are addressed to the best of the teacher's ability. For this reason, I believe that the most effective way for students to learn is individually with an experienced facilitator or in small groups with others who share similar interests, though not necessarily similar understandings or experiences. I have experience working in enrichment and remediation programs with students from ...

"Additionally, during my years at Penn State, I was fortunate enough to become an Editor of Penn State's Undergraduate Literary Magazine, Kalliope. At UPenn, I worked in a non-profit organization called Achieve-Ability, where I tutored adults and children on college essays and personal statements. In collaboration with my students, I created individual academic plans to help them reach their goals and helped them come up with study skills which suits their learning style.

"In many cases, classroom learning cannot replace one-on-one learning in terms of efficiency and efficacy. For this reason, tutoring is often an invaluable component of the schooling process. My academic successes have not only left me with semantic knowledge, but also a number of strategies that can aid struggling students in their comprehension, allowing for procedural learning that will be effective after content-based knowledge is forgotten. I try to inspire students by disseminating information in a manner that they will feel engaged and challenged -- using relevant examples, and thereby forcing them to think critically ...
